of common cocoanuts, by Mrs. V.
Ward, greet the curious before their eyes
are arrested by huge bunch of beauti-
ful flowers and flower wreath, exhibited
as the handiwork of the little Princess
Kaiulani. Another step, and a hand
made koa calabash, from Mrs. V. Ward,
and twenty-four cocoanut bowls and
two calabashes from Mrs. A. N. Trip,
are presented to view; the end of the
table reached and the interested visi-
tor takes breathing spell.
Now, being again at the place Of
entrance, opportunity is given to have a
view of the excellent and rare speci-
mems of horticulture, in the shape of
palms, ferns, plants and flowers, which
occupy the entire centre Of the hall,
the exhibits of Mrs. S. c. Allen, Prin-
cess Kaiulani, Mrs. c. o. Berger, and
Messrs. A. Jaeger and J. N. Robinson.
Rare, indeed, was the collection Of
palms which Mr.. Jaeger presented,
about fifty in number and comprising
twenty varieties not grown generally on
these islands. Mrs. Aliens caladlums,
bgonias and anthuriums won merited
praise from connoisseurs; Mr.. Robin
sons orchids, both in flower and ferns,
we're much admired, and Mrs. c. o.
Bergers malden's hair fern, Princess
Kaiulanis cut flowers, Mr.. Jaegers
crotons and prize bouquet by Mrs
Jaeger, added greatly to the pleasure Of
the occasion.
After the awards had been announced
Mr. Frank Godfrey, acting as auctioneer,
sold the palms exhibited, which we're
donated to the Society by Mr.. Jaeger;
the proceeds, amounting to nearly
$I5o.oo being intended to defray por-
ton of the expense in roofing the Hall
with glass.
